On Monday a few of us decided to brave the changeable weather and head out on Margaret's walk around Wezembeek/Tervuren. Margaret had planned a new walk in Braine l'Alleud but as there are roadworks on the Ring at the moment it will kept for another day.
We were lucky the rain held off until the end of the walk as most of the terrain was a bit exposed but lovely nonetheless. We started off at the terminus of the 39 tram, passed by fields of corn, some lovely houses and I could not resist taking a photo of a huge datura plant sitting in front of a garage door.
We walked on a little further and came across Bill and Ben hanging out in their nasturtium patch and again could not resist a photo of some lovely sunflowers. No need to hide behind the sunflower Jane Gi. we can still see you.Towards the end of the walk there were some cute little ponies grazing in a field just by the old hippodrome.
We just made it into the Yearling before the heavens opened and down came the rain. I felt really sorry for the children who were absolutely drenched as they passed by on horseback. Jane Ge. unfortunately was bitten by a horsefly and had to apply slices of lemon to control the swelling. We were glad that Joan was feeling well enough to join us for coffee today. Thanks Margaret for a really enjoyable walk. P.S. Sorry for the quality of the photos today - I was trying out the camera on my new mobile phone.
